So I'm confused. I am in the process of flashing CM 10.1 to my Tab, but rading instructions I see that I have likely the Honeycomb bootloaders on my tablet. I used Odin to flash my new recovery and that went well, but now I'm confused by the Bootloader. It is a zip file and it won't flash thru Odin. When I did the recovery.tar did that flash the bootloader for me? do I need to flash anything else.
If you have access to official ICS 4.0.4 firmware you can update to it through Odin which if successful automatically gives you the right bootloader, provided you flashed the firmware for the designated regions in the CM 10.1 OP. However, since you already have the bootloader, extract the zip file and flash the bootloader contained therein via odin. So choose the option you prefer.

I have downloaded my Rom from samfirmware, I checked the file and as usual there are PDA,Modem,CSC files in addition to that there is a bootloader file which Im not sure how to use it in odin 1.85, shall I put it in bootloader section? and if so shall I activate the "phone bootloader update" on left side of odin?
thanks
Unless you own an I/O edition of tab, I don't recommend bootloader file. As the bootloader file besides locking the bootloader (if repartition selected in odin) replaces fastboot with recovery in boot screen (keys combo). Hence be careful in flashing bootloader!
Place bootloader in bootloader, tick auto-reboot and Reset time only, and flash. The samfirmware roms for p7510 have been uploaded in development section by me to motivate discussions related to issues. If flashing a touchwiz rom, I recommend the arabic rom from development section. Its taken from samfirmware, but as their edition had issues I repacked it hence error free. The touchwiz in this rom is more polished release version!
Thanks for your help , already done after your instructions and successful
I have 3g version of the tablet and used the 4 files
PDA
CSC
Modem
bootloader
repartition and phone bootloader update not activated
and had a successful flashing
by the way the JPKG6 seems to have less problems as I dont see any auto rotation lags and more smooth scrolling in this rom
I been searching around all over the place and I am just hitting my head against the wall. Any help would be appreciated.
This is my setup: hboot 1.5 S-ON, I have unlocked using the HTC method. I have Revolutionary CWM recovery installed.
I am looking to update the Kernel and Radio/PRI of the phone to the latest versions. (I haven't done it in a very long time.)
By what I read, since I have hboot 1.5 updating the kernel seems close to impossible. I did read that I may have to go to a Stock Rom and update via sprint OTA to get the latest updates then unlock again? That doesnt sound right to me.
I am all types of confused. Part of this was started because I wanted to try the MeanROM (link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362) and also update my phone. Everything I try to do fails or I cant do because of the 1.5 or the S-ON.
Hopefully i am making some sense. I dont know what I have to do to get the latest kernel or if it even is possible.
If you are rooted already the only thing you need to do is install flash GUI app (you can get it in the market) and flash the kernel (boot.img) file before you flash the ROM and you should be OK
There is a myth that if your on 1.5 s-on your doomed, that's not true. It does mean that you'll need an extra step to do things but you'll be able to get things done without issues.

Thank you for the reply, so I understand I can load that application, unzip the rom I want which will have the boot.img. Then flash that boot.img and then install that rom, is that correct? Lastly, does this also update the radio and pri?

If your firmware is compatible with the Rom and kernel yes. If not, you will brick your phone or features will not work as they have to do. After you install flash GUI go to browse button and you will be advertised that file is too large for a kernel or recovery image, then asks if it is a valid Rom zip file. Tap yes and it will search the kernel inside the Rom. After it finishes tap flash and after reboot in recovery(you have to have recovery.img in root of your SD card), next wipe dalvik and cache, install zip and wait until the phone finishes. It is also recommended to you to make a nandroid backup before install anything.

For the EVO 3D, much like the EVO 4G, the custom ROMs generally do not contain the radio or pri images.
There are some different reasons for this, but one of the common reasons being some users claim to experience different radio performance based on their geographic loation in relation to different versions of the radio and pri images.

The only clarification to this post would be having recovery.img in the root of your SD card is not required for rebooting into recovery mode. In order for a custom recovery to load, when rebooting into recovery mode, the recovery.img has to have been flashed previously. Flash Image GUI can also flash the recovery.img to the recovery partition so when you reboot into recovery, the proper custom recovery loads. Most users flash custom recoveries infrequently when compared to how often they flash ROMs so the process for flashing the recovery process isn't covered as often.
In general, regarding the OP's original question of flashing the "MeanROM", the Flash Image GUI thread provides a great beginner step by step guide I wrote to help walk thru the general overview and process. I've quoted it below for easy reference.
Appreciate all the support of Flash Image GUI! I'll echo the optimism for hboot 1.5 s-on unlocked users, most everything is still possible. HTC just requires an extra few steps which can be frustrating, but once they are learned, the process is fairly smooth.
Hope the clarification helps iron out any confusion on the details!
HTC Unlock - Hboot 1.5 Users Guide for ROMs with a Kernel (boot.img file):
1) Unlock using HTC method for Hboot 1.5 users
2) Load this application, Flash Image GUI, onto the device, either through the Market or the link provided in this OP.
3) Download ROM .zip file to the sdcard on the device.
4) Open up Flash Image GUI, select Browse and select the ROM .zip file, downloaded to /sdcard in the previous step.
5) Flash Image GUI will provide a warning, reminding that the ROM .zip file will *need* to be flashed in the custom recovery afterward.
6) Flash Image GUI will index the full ROM .zip file searching for the kernel and kernel modules. Once located, the Flash Image button should be enabled.
7) Select the Flash Image button and Flash Image GUI will load the kernel modules and kernel from inside the ROM zip file.
8) Select reboot recovery.
9) Inside the custom recovery, load/flash the ROM zip file.
10) Reboot to normal Android mode and all should work including Wifi!

Link on 5 is asking for a decryption key.
Links on 8 are not working.
Can SuperSU be upgraded to latest version on Play Store or is that not necessary?
Thanks for this!!!!!

So what are the implications of keeping the bootloader NE6? Everything else is NH5 in Samsung Phone Info.

after flashing ane2 with pc odin. root the phone with towelroot.
then install mobile odin pro . use mobile odin to to flash ang8
mobile odin will retain root if you tick everoot and inject supersu.
the ang8 full tar can be downloaded from sammobile or samsung updates or the firmware thread
. it includes the bootloader and the modem as well as everything else you would need,
the thing is that the bootloader cant be flashed with mobile odin.
for that you would need to flash just the bootloader in pc odin .
Understood.TQVW
I am trying to install TWRP but struggling
The phone is running ANdroid 6. I have unlocked the bootloader successfully.
I am using this link for TWRP, http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/orig-development/twrp-z5-compact-t3235161
Originally I downloaded the files from the 1st post but upon reboot it was stuck on the white curtain screen.
Upon research I found out that the above guide is for Android 5. This link is for android 6.
Now I have downloaded this new file. My question is do i just flash this new file now?
Or are there any extra steps required? Such as a new boot.img file after flashing the new recovery file?
Flash it if you want?
I've no idea what you mean with "this new file", or "extra steps" (extra compared with what?) so I can't help with that. In general, you just should follow the steps in one of the guides to install TWRP. There're plenty, and most of them have in common that they already explain how you can install them and what you need. Also in general, you don't have to add "extra steps" or leave steps out.
Ok thanks.
I have now got the latest TWRP file, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636001943
The kernel im using is Latest AndroPlus Kernel V31.
So in bootloader i have fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to install TWRP
Then flashed the latest kernel using fastboot flash boot boot.img
I have rebooted the phone but now it keep booting into recovery, not the system.
Please can someone help?
Hello I've downloaded latest stock firmware/ROM from: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...2202-ASUS-32.2050.2050.34-1.1.1-2210-user.zip
But unable to find any guide or tool on how to install it? From searching I understand there's supposed to be a flashfile_AFT.cmd, but can't find it in the zip. I've unlocked bootloader already. thanks
Flashing a working device? Just copy to root dir and reboot.
The instructions said to choose the zip from recovery, but stock recovery doesn't have an option to "install from zip". I only managed to flash the stock firmware after installing twrp.

That's also what instructions said, but I never got the notification you are supposed to get. Also, we are more likely to want to flash the stock firmware on a non-working device and I really can't find how we are supposed to do it with stock firmware.
For the updatenotification you maybe have to activate something like "apply updates on reboots / automatic updates" in developer options.
If the device only boots to fastboot you need a raw firmware file with the flashall.bat (I think it was WW-AI2202-32.2004.2004.84-REL-2206-M2.13.33.11-ASUS_1.1.1-user-20220722.zip for example). You can find it on romdevelopers.
All I had to do was take the firmware zip, plop it into my 'home' directory (i.e. not the actual root directory!), and I got the notification that an update was available via that zip. Standard installation after that.
I had and continue to have root access through Magisk, though I did have to apply that 'after update' magisk function before rebooting to complete the update. Rebooting without doing that loses your root access.
Yes, i mean that folder. Its "root" If you use the standard filemanager.
ok this will update the phone but if a phone was bricked, does any stock ROM file exist that can be flashed via fastboot?
Or is there a script which can be used to flash the contents inside payload.bin through fastboot? there are lots of files if payload.bin is extracted, not sure if everything it meant to be flashed?
